Tissue Paper Dior


I'm asking Gus to model something very avant-garde for a doll clothes making challenge put on by instagram doll enthusiast: @fantasticlifeinplasticThe #crafting4dolls 
virtual event, challenges crafters and collectors to make a complete outfit for a fashion doll using 100% unconventional materials. Right away, the beautiful paper dresses by @jianyang1979, and the transparent fabrics from this season's runway shows came to mind, and I was inspired. I had some white tissue paper on hand, and decided to try and recreate a translucent appliqué look from the Dior Spring/Summer 2020 menswear collection, creating a collage of watercolored tissue paper across the chest, to simulate the stitched layers of dyed chiffon on the original. 

Here is Gus, strutting boldly in his tissue paper Dior jumpsuit! His paper pants were surprisingly durable and flexible, and held up to quite  bit of posing without ripping once!
